Rep. Hausman receives NAHRO 2014 Legislator of the Year award

Rep. Alice Hausman (DFL-St. Paul) has received the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) 2014 Legislator of the Year award.

NAHRO selected Hausman for the award for her leadership during the 2014 Legislative Session as chief author of a housing bill that authorized $20 million in state general obligation bonds for rehabilitation of public housing. In addition, the bill provided $80 million in Housing Infrastructure Bonds to finance permanent supportive housing to help end homelessness.

NAHRO also said Representative Hausman’s efforts will strengthen Minnesota communities across the state by investing in housing.
